Varizoom VZPGC20 Users Manual
VZPGC20 Pistol-Grip 20-pin Canon Zoom Controller
*Please note that the pins of this Hirose connector are very delicate, and the connector itself is quite
expensive. Be very careful when attaching, handling and storing the unit to make sure the pins are not
damaged. We include a protective plastic cap for the connector to help safeguard the pins during
storage/transport – keep this cap for future use.
*Note that your camera’s firmware may need to be updated for all features to be enabled.
Thanks for purchasing the VZPGC20 zoom controller for compatible Canon CN-E cine-servo lenses such
as the CN-E 18-80mm model. This unit has a dual-variable zoom circuit, record button, and one-touch
autofocus feature, as well as an ergonomic grip and locking swivel clamp.
Notice the design of the Hirose connector – there are several alignment keys on the outside. These
alignment keys must engage properly with the jack on the lens – do not force the connector into place.
If the connector doesn’t immediately insert, rotate it slowly until it engages and then press into place
until it clicks. To remove, simply pull and the connector will unlock.
The zoom feature should automatically work. Note that the speed control dial is located so that your
index finger can adjust it while your thumb operates the zoom rocker. When the dial is turned all the
way down, the zoom is inactive. As it is turned up, the maximum zoom speed is gradually increased.
When the dial is turned to maximum, the full range of speeds is available through the rocker, which is
variable on its own.
Modes of zoom operation:
1) Speed dial turned to max – feather the rocker in and out with your thumb to vary zoom speed
2) Speed dial turned to minimum – press the rocker down fully and roll the speed dial up and
down to vary zoom speed
3) Speed dial set to minimum attainable speed – hold the rocker down and preset the minimum
zoom speed for easily sustainable slow-crawl zooms
Record feature: Simple press the red button to start and stop recording
One-touch Autofocus button: The black button located on the back side of the controller will activate
the camera’s native One-Touch AF feature. For this function to work, the lens must be in “AF” mode
and the camera must be set to “One-Shot AF” mode.
